Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a manually operated tape dispenser for dispensing an adhesive roll of tape of the type which comprises a supply length of tape wound around a spool and from which lengths of tape may be drawn while the tape is being applied to a substrate, the tape dispenser including cutting means by which tape drawn from the dispenser may be cut from tape remaining on the roll.
  • Pull-and-tear tape dispensers and tape cutters are well known in the art. They typically include a housing or frame for accommodating a roll of tape, and a spindle or axle onto which the tape roll is mounted. When a free end of the tape is pulled, the spindle rotates to allow dispensing of a length of tape.
  • the dispenser includes a cutting edge formed of either a smooth or serrated blade. When a free end of the tape is pulled, the roll of tape freely rotates under this action and once the desired length of tape has been reached, the tape is pressed against the blade so as to sever a length of tape from the roll.
  • a manually operated tape dispenser for dispensing a roll of tape of the type which includes a length of tape wound around a spool, the tape dispenser comprising - a base configured to rest atop and at least partially engage the outer circumference of the roll of tape such that the base is slidingly displaceable relative to the roll of tape; an elongate slot extending through the base for the width of the tape and through which a free end of tape protrudes; a locating tab extending from the base approximate the slot and positioned to guide the free end of tape substantially radially outwardly away from the roll of tape; and cutting means which is operatively associated with the locating tab for severing a length of tape; wherein a length of tape is guided by the locating tab towards the cutting means and the tape is severed by pressing the cutting means through the tape.
  • the base may be a substantially planar base comprising a bottom surface, which rests atop the tape roll, and a top surface.
  • the base may include two parallel sidewalls extending from opposite sides of the base and configured to engage two opposite sides of a tape roll to limit lateral displacement of the tape dispenser relative to the tape roll.
  • the top surface of the base may define a pressing platform upon which a user may press down during a cutting action, pressing the base onto the roll of tape to brake displacement of the base relative to the roll of tape while a length of tape is being cut.
  • the elongate slot may extend through the base between the two opposing sidewalls and may be bordered by two opposing slot edges.
  • the locating tab may extend substantially radially outwardly from the base approximate one edge of the slot.
  • the locating tab may hingedly be connected to the base and may be displaceable between a first position, in which it abuts the cutting means for trapping a length of tape between the locating tab and the cutting means; and a second position in which it is angularly disposed relative to the cutting means.
  • the locating tab may be connected to and extend from the top surface of the base.
  • the locating tab may hingedly be connected to the two sidewalls of the base through hinge pins extending through the sidewalls. The hinge pins may protrude through the sidewalls of the base, such that they slightly press against the two opposite sides of a roll of tape.
  • the locating tab may include a retaining surface for retaining newly cut end portions of tape through releasable adhesion to the retaining surface so that a newly cut end portion of the tape does not again adhere to the surface of the roll of tape, but instead is presented where it can easily be engaged manually to afford dispensing a new length of tape from the dispenser.
  • the arrangement is such that a sticky surface of the tape releasably adheres to the retaining surface.
  • the retaining surface may include a series of alternating grooves and rib formations so as to limit the surface area to which the sticky surface of the tape can adhere, thus facilitating easy removal of the tape from the retaining surface of the locating tab.
  • the locating tab may terminate at its free end in a curved, overhanging lip formation, the arrangement being such that a non-adhesive material is applied to the retaining surface, but not to the overhanging lip formation, so that the sticky surface of the tape releasably adheres to the overhanging lip formation after a cutting action, but does not stick to the remaining retaining surface of the locating tab.
  • the cutting means may include a cutter wall extending substantially at a right angle away from the base approximate an opposite edge of the slot and laterally spaced from the locating tab; and a cutting edge located approximate a free end of the cutter wall for transversely severing a length of tape.
  • the cutting edge may comprise a series of removable and replaceable cutting teeth.
  • the cutting teeth may angularly be disposed relative to the cutter wall. In one embodiment of the invention the cutting teeth may angularly be disposed in a direction facing the locating tab, and in an alternative embodiment, the cutting teeth may angularly be disposed in a direction facing away from the locating tab.
  • the cutting teeth may be carried by a teeth carrier which may removably and slidingly be connected to a free end of the cutter wall such that the cutting teeth can be replaced once they become blunt.
  • the cutting means may include a substantially planar severing tab connected to the cutter wall and configured to cooperate with the locating tab and the cutting teeth to ensure an even cutting edge of a tape end.
  • the severing tab may angularly be positioned and hinged away from the cutter wall such that it is pressed against the cutter wall during a cutting action.
  • the severing tab may be connected to the cutter wall at a hinge connection such that, during a cutting action, the hinge connection is positioned just above the overhanging lip formation of the locating tab when the locating tab is pressed against the cutter wall; while a free end of the severing tab slides in underneath the cutting teeth when the severing tab is simultaneously pressed against the cutter wall, the result being that after the cutting teeth severs the tape end, an overhanging newly cut end portion of tape protrudes beyond the overhanging lip formation of the locating tab, which newly cut end portion provides for easy and consistent grabbing to pull a further length tape from the roll.
  • the cutter wall may include a severing step configured between the base and the cutting edge, the severing step being positioned just above a free end of the locating tab when the locating tab is pressed against the cutter wall.
  • the tape cutter may be dimensioned for being stored inside a roll of tape so that opposite sides of the base and the free end of the cutter wall press against the internal circumference of the spool around which the tape is wound.

Le distributeur de ruban comprend : une base configurée pour reposer au-dessus de la circonférence externe du rouleau de ruban de telle sorte que la base peut être déplacée de manière coulissante par rapport au rouleau de ruban ; une fente allongée s'étendant à travers la base à travers laquelle une extrémité libre du ruban fait saillie ; une languette de positionnement s'étendant à partir de la base et positionnée pour guider l'extrémité libre du ruban à l'opposé du rouleau de ruban ; et un moyen de coupe pour sectionner une longueur de ruban. Une longueur de ruban est guidée par la languette de positionnement vers le moyen de coupe et le ruban est sectionné par pression du moyen de coupe à travers le ruban.
